It's Ash Wednesday. Are you just giving up chocolate? Why? How is that preparing you to be closer to Jesus on Good Friday? How about just doing acts of random kindness during Lent? That's what our world needs these days.
Got palms? I learned something new this morning...the palms from LAST year's palm Sunday were burned and will be used as the ashes to be placed on the foreheads of Catholics today. I did not realize I was supposed to bring my old palms back to the church for recycling.
"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” - Genesis 3:19
Got love? By the way, this is a good time to remind ourselves that Jesus went to his death freely. So, no finger-pointing at other cultures on Good Friday. Love everyone - it was Jesus' command:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. -John 13:34
My father grew tired of being a lumberjack in the Candian backwoods, so he packed up my mother and oldest brother (one year old at the time) and moved to the United States. He was in search of a better life. Mission accomplished. I grew up in the Roman Catholic religion, which gave me a good foundation. In my adult life, I thankfully discovered something greater than religion...a relationship with God. I hope you will be inspired.
